Just what I need on I-285

Have you ever wondered what all those extra SUVs are in the Presidential or VIP motorcades? You know, the ones with blacked windows that no one gets in or out of.

Well, wonder no more. They have a 6 barreled 7.62 mm mini gun. They fire over 4,000 rounds per. minute .... The wipers need to be run to remove spent casings when the weapon is firing.

This video is from the company that makes this happen. The vehicle is also armor plated.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Looks like they corrected all the GE miniguns problems.

Dillon has been in the Gatling gun business for a number of years. Anyone remember his video "Firestorm in the Desert"? That video is probably 10 years old now, and still a real classic. Dillon aero has been making their revised 7.62mm GE mini-gun for many many moons, as well as some other variations thereof. Check out Dillon Aero.

Several years ago someone posted a link to a Suburban with a 20mm Vulcan inside.

One of those vehicles recently made a guest appearance on Myth Busters and shredded some stuff.

The President's SS motorcades have something very similar.
